At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 252ZR-42 Rear Sprocket in red — a 42-tooth, 525-pitch aluminum sprocket engineered for Honda models that demand less rotating mass and more style without sacrificing durability. Vortex sprockets have long been a staple among racers and street riders alike, and this CAT5 sprocket delivers the brand's signature blend of eye-catching color and race-proven performance.

Unlike OEM steel sprockets, this Vortex CAT5 sprocket is anodized first, then CNC machined from 7075 aluminum, leaving behind a striking colored sprocket face with contrasting silver highlights where the material is cut away. The result is a part that looks as fast as it performs. This process utilizes the same Vortex design with a color anodizing that excludes sweeps, mud grooves and teeth, resulting in a bright flash of color with bright silver highlights.

Beyond the looks, this sprocket is built to perform. An aluminum sprocket is much lighter compared to OEM steel sprockets, leading to reduced rotating mass and allowing for improved acceleration and handling. It features saber tooth grooves, with a unique tooth design that increases sprocket longevity. Vortex's patented sprocket design is unlike any other sprocket on the market, and it's trusted by champions on and off the track.
